Just in case you didn't hear me the first time

On election-eve here in the Great Garden State let me reiterate for my friends and others I respect that think they are sending a message to Demonrats and Republicans by voting for the "independent" Chris Daggett.

1. He is not independent... he is a left leaning moderate. Who officiated in the left leaning DEP and EPA. Even when Reagan was in office the EPA was comprised of leftards. Plus he espouses the myth of global warming... he is a liberal.


2. Someone is bankrolling him. And while he has called on his opponents to list their contributors, the quantities donated and their relationship he has failed to do the same... although he has reluctantly admitted to getting a large amount of support from "outside the state."


3. I hypothesize, although have no direct proof, that he is being funded by George Norcross. For those not educated in NJ politics he is the biggest Democrat power broker in the state and runs the party from Trenton to the tip of Cape May. Norcross is also the guy who is calling for the ouster of Richard Codey as the President of the (state) Senate. Codey was the most competent head of state NJ has had since Tom Kean and Norcross wants him out so he can get one of his boys in. Why?


4. The NJ election is about more than who will be living in Drumthwacket for the next four years. Obama has been burning his political currency faster than Corzine has been spending his personal fortune to get this seat for the Democrats. And for two reasons, the first is so a Democrat wins and this election can be spun to support Obama's Presidency to date. But more importantly, and as I have indicated in a previous rant, it is about the 2010 census. In New Jersey the Governor (directly and indirectly) and the head of the State Senate determine 9 of the 13 seats for redistricting if NJ loses, as anticipated, a seat to the US House of Representatives. Norcross wants to make sure the districts his boys sit in are maintained or strengthened and to make sure a GOP deat is properly gerrymandering out of existence. If this occurs Norcross gets more power locally and nationally with the DNC, and Obama gets one less GOP Congressman to deal with... a win win.

So while I am the first who would vote for a solid conservative candidate that was neither Democrat or Republican, Dagget is playing the spoiler. But unlike Ross Perot who assisted Bill Clinton in his two victories, he is being funded to deliberately to assist in a Corzine victory.

I have had enough of corruption in NJ politics as it costs us tax dollars. But a vote for Daggett is a vote for Corzine. And regardless of your politics I can respect no one who votes for that man.
